A boy drags a suitcase along the ground with a force of 100 N. If the frictional force opposing the motion of the suitcase is 50

N, what is the resultant forward force on the suitcase?

Fortunately, 'force' is a vector.  So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward.   Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.


            (100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

        =  (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

        =           50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?

The headlights of a car emit light of wavelength 400 nm and are separated by 1.2 m. The headlights are viewed by an observer who
densk [106]

Answer:

The most correct option is;

B. 10 km

Explanation:

L = \frac{y \times d}{1.22 \times  \lambda} = \frac{1.2 \times 0.004}{1.22 \times  400 \times 10^{-9}} = 9836.066 \ km

Where:

y = Distance between the two headlights

d = Aperture of observers eye

λ = Wavelength of light

L = Distance between the observer and the headlight

Therefore, from the above solution, the distance between the observer and the headlights is 9386.066 km which is approximately 10 km.

Also we have

sinθ = y/L = 1.22 (λ/d)  

= 1.22 \times \frac{400 \times 10^{-9}}{0.004}

sinθ = 1.22×10⁻⁴ rad

Why are we able to use nuclear energy for practical purposes? The reactions are controlled to regulate energy output. The reacti
musickatia [10]

Answer: The reactions are controlled to regulate energy output

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced when either two nuclei fuse to produce larger nucleus or a bigger nuclei splits into two smaller nucleus.

Uranium easily splits to produce nuclear energy. The reactions are controlled and energy output can be regulated. Nuclear energy in abundant yet controlled amount is available. Nuclear energy is mostly used in steam turbines to produce electricity.

A dog travels north for 18 meters, east for 8 meters, South for 27 meters and then west for 8 meters. What is the distance the d
Afina-wow [57]
I'm really not sure if this is right but I'll try.
The distance that the dog traveled is probably all of the distances added up. I would guess that it's 67 meters in total. 
The displacement is a little more tricky but you pretty much have to put a mental map in your head. Since East and West are both 8 meters, they cancel each other out. He travels more southern and that means the displacement is 9 meters south of his original location

Use Wien’s Law to calculate the peak wavelength of Betelgeuse, based on the temperature found in Question #8. Note: 1 nanometer
kodGreya [7K]

The peak wavelength of Betelgeuse is 828 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between surface temperature and peak wavelength of a star is given by Wien's displacement law:

\lambda=\frac{b}{T}

where

\lambda is the peak wavelength

T is the surface temperature

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K is Wien's constant

For Betelgeuse, the surface temperature is approximately

T = 3500 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is:

\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{3500}=8.28\cdot 10^{-7} m = 828 nm
